Has anyone seen the new HTGAM site? Sounds like they are renamed to Phoenix Artisan. I have never tried HTGAM or Synergy but have heard good things. I think I will try a few out but wondered if anyone here had a favorite HTGAM scent. Here is a listing of their new shave soap line: Oakmoss & Sage Cavendish Gondolier Maple, Vanilla, and Nutmeg Speakeasy Ciderhouse 5 CaD (barbershop) The Beach Pumpk'n Black Tea I really want to try Gondolier (rose, jasmine, juniper, and cedar), but Cavendish sounds awesome as well as Speakeasy (rose, sage, bergamot, citrus, wood, and Amber). Once again, I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
sounds like all the same scents and they do make a good product, but the recent scandal has left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths
Good for him I guess trying to make a fresh start, but at this point I will spend my money elsewhere.
Please keep this thread on topic, which is, what is your favorite scent? If you can't answer that question in a positive mannner, find another thread where you can be more helpful.
Thanks for pointing that out RazorBurn...I started this thread to find out the best scent and confirm the quality of product.
I love Cavendish. One of my favorite scents. If you like the smell of sweet pipe tobacco, you will like this. CaD is another hit for me. They are very easy to lather and offer good protection. I recommend them.
Go for the stuff that was made by PPF instead of the HGTAM stuff as it's far superior. Coconut, speakeasy, black tea, malbolge, sandlewood, cucumber, Ciderhouse 5, etc.
I only tried the beach. The scent was horrible IMO and gave everyone in my house a headache. The lather was thin, airy, & unstable. I hear others have better results with it than I did. I hope you also do better than me.
There's HGTAM soaps and PPF soaps are mixed on the site now. The Beach is a former HGTAM soap. PPF soaps are hands down way, way better soaps and some of the very best I've tried. I'm not fond of the former HGTAM stuff either. Do try one of the following because these are the former PPF soaps: Coconut, Speakeasy, Black Tea, Malbolge, Sandlewood, Cucumber, Ciderhouse 5.
In my recent order from Maggards, I got a small puck of PPF Sandalwood. The scent seems to be very good and the test lather worked well producing a nice slick cream. I will try it on one of my shaves this week. In the same order, I picked up a Catie's Bubbles Sandalwood. The scent of the Catie's is much more muted than the PPF but provided a very pleasing shave this morning. Clint
i also prefer the PPF soaps vs the synergy...i ended up selling all the htgam soaps i had right after i got them...the PPF i still use (prefer the black tea scent).
